ReclaimBuild connects businesses with surplus materials to affordable housing projects. Every donated return, every penny item, every overstock becomes a wall, a roof, a foundation for someone who needs it.
Retailers destroy returns. Builders trash surplus. Manufacturers dump overstock. Meanwhile, millions of Americans can't afford a home. These two problems solve each other.
Returns and penny items cost more to restock than to destroy. So they're trashed. Every day.
Leftover materials from job sites go straight to dumpsters. Usable wood, fixtures, hardware, gone.
Housing costs outpace wages. The gap between "need a home" and "can afford a home" keeps widening.
40% of all waste comes from construction and demolition. Most of it didn't need to be there.
Partner with businesses to redirect returns, surplus, and penny items before they hit landfills.
Use reclaimed materials to construct affordable housing on community land trust property.
Offer paid work to those who help gather and build. Real skills, real wages, real opportunity.
Families move into permanently affordable homes. Built with materials that were destined for waste.
Businesses get tax deductions. Communities get homes. Workers get jobs. The planet gets a break.
Enhanced tax deductions for inventory donations to a 501(c)(3). We handle all paperwork. Turn your waste into a write-off.
Affordable homes that stay affordable through a community land trust model. Neighborhoods that grow stronger, not more expensive.
Hands-on construction skills, sweat equity in the homes they build, and a pathway from shelter to self-sufficiency.
ReclaimBuild is starting in San Antonio and building outward. Every item reclaimed is a wall that didn't go to a landfill and a family that didn't go without.
